TfMP - The Interdisciplinary Master Project provides students with the opportunity to complete their master's thesis within an interdisciplinary learning community centred around shared themes related to sustainable development. While students pursue individual research projects within their respective degree programmes, they participated in a common professional and social environment consisting of start-up and mid-term seminars, academic lectures, excursions, and regular social gatherings. The scheme aimed to strengthen active learning, foster interdisciplinary exchange, and provide students with a supportive network throughout the thesis-writing process.
